Abstract
The invention relates to a control device of a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine. The control device starts executing an ignition engine start control to restart the engine operation when a predetermined engine restart request is generated, a last signal output from a crank angel sensor corresponds to the compression TDC and a signal is output from the sensor before a time elapsing from the output of the last signal reaches a predetermined time. The control device starts executing a starter engine start control when the engine restart request is generated, the last signal output from the sensor corresponds to the compression TDC and no signal is output from the sensor before a time elapsing from the output of the last signal reaches the predetermined time. The control device sets the predetermined time on the basis of a last engine speed acquired on the basis of the last signal and a signal output from the sensor immediately before the last signal is output such that the predetermined time set when the last engine speed corresponds to a first engine speed, is longer than the predetermined time set when the last engine speed corresponds to a second engine speed larger than the first engine speed.
